As a group of people went over to see what is going on the crowd built around the counter.

Voices were getting raised even louder as the disagreement intensified, the shocking footage showed.

The woman said as the fight broke out: 'Listen y'all I had to come out here to let ya'll see this, I'm in a buffet and they're fighting over crab legs, look at this. Can you believe it?'

As she slowly walked towards the scene, the woman added: 'I just want ya'll to see this craziness for crab legs, this is nuts.'

As she got closer to the crowd a group of people could be seen swinging punches.

She added: 'Are you for real, oh s***, crab legs yo. Look at this yo, share this m***** f*****. We are in the buffet in Queens, it's crazy.

'I've never seen such ignorance in my life, over food, oh my God this is crazy. This is the juiciest movie I have ever watched, unbelievable. Now we can't even go up and get another plate.'

As the huge scuffle broke into smaller fights, two women could be seen swinging meaty punches at each other as they moved to the side.

The sound of metal kitchen utensils could be heard clattering to the ground and a 'wet floor' sign was left lying across the floor.

A woman adjusted her top as she left the chaos and the brawlers started moving away from the scene.

But another fight then broke out on the other side of the buffet counter as the sound of smashing returned to the restaurant.

The fight eventually broke up as the aggressors left the eatery.

Addressing the camera the woman filming said: 'You can't make this up, at all. I can't believe it.

'This is getting real, I think this is going outside. No more crab legs or somebody's going to get killed, it's that serious.'

The woman recording the incident, who was at the restaurant in Queens with her three children, said 'she's even got a bloody neck', as one of the fighters walked outside.

She added: 'The woman walked outside all bloody, they're all probably outside. They're mad people. Some of them ran out of here and ate for free.'

Only last month a similar incident in Alabama saw two people were arrested after a dispute over crab legs ended in a brawl.

John Chapman and Chequita Jenkins were reportedly using service tongs like fencing swords at the Meteor Buffet restaurant in Huntsville before being broken up by a police officer in the queue.
